A recent article in The New York Times
talks about the backlash against automobiles. Many countries, especially in
Europe, are realizing the huge toll cars take in return for convenience.

Many cities are taking measures to reduce the clogging of roads
by making it hard to drive. In some places traffic lights favor public
transport. Others have designated slow speed zones where drivers have to drive
so slowly that a pedestrian can cross a street at any time without waiting
for a signal. The Toyota Paseo may be
just the car for those zones.

Have you ever stopped to wonder what all these car names mean? Often they
are coined words or a mix of letters and numbers, but sometimes they
are actual dictionary words. This week we've picked five from the latter
group.

Look to see if your car makes an appearance here. If not, check out
